Methods, apparatus and data structures for providing a user interface, which exploits spatial memory in three-dimensions, to objects and in which object occlusion is avoided

摘要

A graphical user interface in which object thumbnails are rendered on a simulated three-dimensional surface which (i) exploits spatial memory and (ii) allows more objects to be rendered on a given screen. The objects may be moved, continuously, on the surface with a two-dimensional input device.
